Summer is Nearing the End

Summer is ending soon for our house. I go back to work next week.

The twins turned six the day school got out and we've been going and having fun ever sense.

We went to eat with some baseball friends and got to see there little farm and all the animals.

The following week we had VBS in the park with our church. The boys had lots of splashpad time this week.

We've spent lots of time lounging and playing with our friends, the Eflo's.

We've pet snakes and hissing cockroaches and all sorts of other animals. We've been swimming. We've played with bunnies and had balloon sculptures made. There have been faces painted and yard sale adventures. We've rode horses and spent days in my classroom. We've been to Atlanta to a mets game and of course visisted Ikea. We've been to McWane and shot fireworks. We have colored and built and worked puzzles like crazy. I've learned a thing or two or fifty from the littles about how to use a Kindle. We've caught frogs and had tons of icees and icecream to beat the heat. We've eaten fancy popsicles and spent 8 days at the beach. We've shopped and laughed running through the sprinkler. We have found worms and caught lightening bugs. Cops and robbers and Avengers have been played more times than I can count. We had a sleepover with a friend and learned to swim. We had rode go carts and trains and airplanes. We played putt-putt and swam in the ocean. We had friends birthdays and family birthdays galore.

We have had fun and we are not ready for it to end. I cannot believe we will have two first graders in a few weeks and I will have my tenth group of students in my class. It has been a blast this summer and I love being home with the boys, but it is time to regroup and get in school mode.

This seems just like yesterday. Time flies when you are having fun. Even in the seasons of life that are challenging and hard, the days still pass just as quick. They may seem slow at the time, but you will blink and have kids in school.
